off topic: im with my 3076r and c16 what boost should i run?

 

Myself and a friend both run RnR GT3076r kits...and we got tuned by Sean Ivey on pump gas (90 octane) Both our cars made like 350 whp @ 22/23 psi, tuned conservatively (10.8/ 11.1 AFR's) I think it's kinda low, but the cars pull GREAT.

My friend got tuned on race gas and made 417 whp @ 26 psi...did one run only @ this boost..as he had no headstuds.

I'm not sure if the GT3076R is that great a turbo...the more I read I believe the BB 50 trims are better for that class, while the GT35R is the BIG dog. I have heard the spool on the GT35R isn't that bad & if combined with the .82 A/R exhaust housing they HAUL ***!

I saw a GT35r with stroker make 525whp @ 33psi running pump & alky on the same dynojet.

 

Must have a bad 30 R. my numbers 390+ whp on 91 oct, 450+whp(one pull 460) on 100 oct, and 494 whp on vp109. Could of had 500 whp but I said no more.

 

I'm not a mechanic by trade, however, what blkAMSevo8 was reasoning regarding the turbo lag and its affect on the tranny vs. the stock turbo, logically does make sense.

 

the 3076r is a good turbo, but again as I stated in another post... there are so many variations of this turbo. 50 trim bb turbo quicker spool but the 3076r will make more Peak HP, where the 50 trim will fall off up top. If I wa to do it again, I would buy a 35r. It has more room to grow. 3976r can make a little over 500whp. I have a 3076r with a .82 backhousing. TO4s cover and I believe my turbo is a 56trim. I made 397whp on 23psi on PUMP. Went to the track and ran a 13.1 @ 117mph, I babied the car out the whole. It is harder to get good times with a bigger turbo than the stock.

 

Horse power doesn't hurt a Transmission, it is the Torque. If you have a BUILT motor, there is NO reason not to get a GT35R. I wana get one for my stock motor. You'll love it trust me, it is SICK.

 

thanks everyone for the input Im deff leaning toward 35r

Im gonna piece together a kit with the hafe manifold just waiting on a few more ppl to complete the group buy the deal is just irresistable

 

now onto the next issue what spec 35r should i get including comp housing exhaust
ported shroud if im gonna mainly be running 26-28 psi with meth

thanks again for all the input really helping

 

Bang for the buck the Buschur unit kicks ***. $2995 and it comes with a great Gt35R with a .63 back side and a 4" intake and a 44 Wastgeate and all Vband clamps. It kicks but and fits as stock. Traps well over 140MPH if you ask it too.

 

can anyone answer this before i make a new topic? i have searched for a clear answer.

 

over 25 psi!

 

You should try and search better or look for someone that has one and ask him some specific questions. i have heard of people running 30+psi and making good numbers. dont say you searched because you clearly didnt. find people with this turbo that did dyno runs and take a look a sheet its not that hard and your just going to be flamed if you make a new thread about this.

 

Tpayne.... relax man.

 

Oh im not mad i only said that because 1. he is threating to make a new thread because no one is giving him the answers he wants. 2. all the answers he wants are in the these forums mutiple times a simple search would help him out alot. 3. i was trying to save him from being flamed to hell.

I hope he gets answers to the question he asks

 

tpayne: i have been searching for a hour, got a few answers. just wanted a larger sample. and hoping to find someone who has similar mods to me. i would search more but can spend all day searching.
